Overview

What is Dante?

Audinate's patent pending Dante™ technology is a flexible Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet based digital AV network technology that eliminates the many bulky cables needed to provide point-to-point wiring for analog AV installations.

With Dante, existing infrastructure can be used for high performance audio as well as for ordinary control, monitoring or business data traffic. Digital networks utilize standard IP over Ethernet offering high bandwidth capable of transporting hundreds of high quality channels over Gigabit Ethernet.

Set-up and configuring the system is made easy as well, saving enormous installation costs and long term cost of ownership on a digital network. The physical connecting point is irrelevant: audio signals can be made available anywhere and everywhere. Patching and routing now become logical functions configured in software, not via physical wired links

About the DNT Processors

The DNT16i is an "input" device, providing 16 analog mic/line inputs. The input signals are digitized and each channel is routed through a comprehensive set of filters, delay and dynamic processing, and the digital audio is then available as input signals to a digital matrix in the processor. The matrix in the processor provides advanced automatic mixing algorithms at 48 different crosspoints, and the final mix in each crosspoint can be routed to a Dante transmit channel.

The DNT0212 is an “output” device, subscribing to Dante network transmitted channels, converting them to analog audio and providing 8 line level and 4 mic/ line level outputs. An internal digital matrix with 48 crosspoints provides advanced automatic mixing algorithms of inputs from analog local sources, Dante subscriptions and foldback from its own mixes (submixes). The final mixes can then be routed to analog outputs or Dante transmit channels. Each analog output channel includes delay, filters, compressor, gain and limiter. The Dante outputs include delay, filters, compressor and gain. In addition, two analog line level inputs are available for use in applications such as local, directly connected emergency voice evacuation equipment.

Both models have internal signal generators for setup and diagnostics:

• Pink Noise
• White Noise
• Tone
• Sweep

Switched and Redundant Modes

The rear panel Dante ports allow operation in a switched mode through a single network using either jack, or in a redundant mode through two separate networks using both jacks simultaneously. Redundancy is required in some applications where it is imperative that no audio is lost due to network problems, such as in courtroom recording. The secondary network duplicates real-time audio traffic. If the primary network fails for any reason, the secondary network's audio continues without losing even a single sample.

See page 9 and also refer to the help files and documentation provided by Audinate for more information regarding the setup for switched and redundant modes.

Consult the Help menu for details and explanations of Dante Controller software.

NOTE: Once everything is set up and audio is flowing to and from the network, a second gigabit switch and network can be added and the mode can be changed to Redundant.

DNT Control Panel Software - Signal Flow Configuration

In each processor:

The following signal connections and routing must be configured before the processor will pass signals.

• Inputs
• Matrix crosspoints
• Outputs

In the Dante Network:

• Transmit Channels (device outputs)
- Subscriptions (device receive channels)

Be sure to save your settings into a Preset within the processor and to a file on the computer as a backup.

Follow the instructions below to make a connection to the processor.

DNT Software - USB Connection

Connect the processor to the computer via the front panel USB jack. Launch DNT Control Panel and click on Connect -> Connect via USB... in the upper left corner of the screen.

When the next screen opens, the connected processor will appear in the screen. Click on OK to continue.

DNT Software - Ethernet Connection

Connect the processor to the network via the rear panel Ethernet jack. The easiest way to establish an Ethernet connection is to first connect to the processor via the USB port to discover or assign the IP address.

If DHCP is enabled and the IP address is assigned by a network server, the address will appear in the Network Settings dialog box. Otherwise a static IP address may be entered into the same dialog box. See page 10 for detailed network port setup instructions.

Launch DNT Control Panel and then open the setup screen for the processor. Click on Device Settings -> Network. A dialog box will open displaying the IP address and TCP Port number.

Once the IP address and TCP Port number are verified, launch DNT Control Panel and click on Connect -> Connect via Network... in the upper left corner of the screen.

In the next screen, verify or enter the IP address of the processor in the upper part of the screen, then click on Search. The processor will appear. Click on OK to continue.

Hardware Connections

Installing the chassis into a rack

Install the chassis so that the cooling fan vent is not blocked. Mount with 4 rack screws using the appropriate mounting holes. Use nylon washers to prevent damage to the front panel's finish when tightening the mounting screws.

DNT rack mount processors have internal switching power supplies that can tolerate voltages ranging from 100 to 240 VAC. Use an approved power cord with an IEC 60320 C13 connector.

Connecting via USB for the First Time

NOTE: Install DNT USB drivers before connecting a processor.

The computer operating system will automatically detect and configure a USB port for the processor when it is connected and turned on the first time. Wait for the screen message that advises that the new device has been configured and is ready for use.

Setup and Control Port Connections

Numerous options are available for setup and control using a variety of devices and interfaces.

These interfaces combined with a powerful macro language and simultaneous multi-point control provide outstanding flexibility to adapt to the specific requirements of almost any application.

The RS-232 serial control port is a common interface with LCD touch panel control systems such as Crestron® and AMX®. The wiring diagram for DB-9 connectors is shown on the next page. The baud rate is adjustable using the DNT Control Panel Software.

The Ethernet network control port is used with the control panel software for setup, monitoring, control and diagnostics. It does not transport audio. The Ethernet port is also used with third party control devices such as LCD touch panels.

To configure the network interface, connect to the device via USB and click on Device Settings -> Network. The Network Settings dialog box will open.

Each DNT device has a unique IP address, but offers two TCP ports at this address, the Primary port and the Secondary port. The TCP Port number in the dialog box is the Primary port number. The Secondary port number is the Primary port number + 1, which in this example is 4081.

DHCP is supported. If the device is connected to a network with DHCP service and DHCP Enable is checked in the control panel window, the IP address, Net Mask and Default Gateway address will be automatically obtained when the device is powered up.

If DHCP is not used, then DHCP Enable is unchecked and a "static" IP address, Net Mask and Default Gateway address must be entered.

Consult with the network administrator or system designer to determine the proper settings for each DNT device in the network.

NOTES: The default TCP Port number is 4080. To avoid conflicts with other devices on the network, it should not be changed.

The MAC Address is assigned at the factory and cannot be changed.

When network settings are changed, the device must be powered down then back up for the new settings to take effect.

The Dante network audio I/O ports connect to network switches. Multiple DNT processors can also be connected directly to each other through these ports when the units are operating in the Switched mode. See Mandatory Settings on page 8 for details on selecting this mode.

The USB port is used primarily for setup and firmware updates.

Hard-wired pots can be wired directly to the logic control port on the rear panel to provide volume controls

Hard-wired switches can be wired to the logic control port on the rear panel for muting, incremental changes in volume or to activate macros.

Programmable Inputs

Programmable inputs are provided to enable external control over a variety of parameters. Each input can respond to a contact closure, a DC voltage source, or the variable voltage output from a potentiometer. The following illustrates common connections to the programmable input pins.

RS-232 Serial Port Wiring

Crestron® RS-232 Port Wiring

Programmable Outputs

Programmable outputs are used for several purposes:

• indicate the current state of a programmable input
• monitor activity on audio input channels
• monitor active preset changes

Each programmable output is the electrical equivalent of a contact closure to ground. When a programmable output is "active" it conducts current to ground. When the programmable output is "inactive," no current flows to ground. The maximum usable voltage for the programmable outputs is 40 V and they will safely conduct up to 100 mA DC continuous.

Both LEDs and 5V relay coils can be powered by the +5 V DC pins on the programmable input connector, as long as the maximum combined current for all LEDS and relay coils does not exceed 100 mA.

LED is ON when the programmable output is active

LED is OFF when the programmable output is active

Relay is on when the programmable output is active

Note: The diagram above shows an external DC source powering the relay coil. This is necessary whenever coil voltages exceed 5 volts.

Network and PC Connections

The DNT processors send and receive audio via the Dante network, and to and from local devices connected directly to them.

Using Switched and Redundant Modes

NOTE: See page 8 for instructions on selecting the mode using Dante Controller software.

Set processors to the Switched mode for setup. In the Switched mode, the Primary and Secondary ports can be connected in any combination since there is an ethernet switch in the hardware.

In the Redundant mode, the Primary ports on all processors must be connected to the first network and the Secondary ports on all processors must be connected to the second network.

After all connections and settings are completed and the system is passing audio through the network, connect the second network and set the processors to the Redundant mode.

Signal Routing

Each DNT processor has an internal matrix that can connect to local audio devices and Dante transmit and receive channels. The mixes created in this matrix are assigned to Dante transmit channels so they are then available to any Dante enabled device on the network. Every device on the network can subscribe to any one or more of the transmit channels.

The signal flow screen of the DNT16i processor provides an overview with access to individual settings directly or by double clicking on an element.

The outputs of the internal matrix are assigned to Dante transmit channels. The Dante matrix is used for routing only, with no mixing or signal processing, so each transmit channel can be assigned to only one processor output.

Service and Repair

If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the interconnecting cables and then go through the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don't attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment. There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working.

LECTROSONICS' Service Department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In warranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a modest flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to determine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone for out-of-warranty repairs.

Returning Units for Repair

For timely service, please follow the steps below:

A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by e-mail or by phone. We need to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a phone number where you can be reached 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. (U.S. Mountain Standard Time).
B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown on the outside of the shipping container.
C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with the proper packing materials. UPS or FEDEX is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be "double-boxed" for safe transport.
D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or damage to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.
